On further research, it appears that the number returned by this code snippit is the number that is set up in iTunes for the device. If you didn't enter the iPhone's in iTunes at device activation, or perhaps [as in my case] if the default value wasn't the iPhone's number and you clicked OK anyway, such that iTunes doesn't list the phone number when your iPhone is plugged in, this code will return a null string.

It works as expected when run on the device, and returns my phone number with the full international dialing codes [ 1 in my case]. When run on the simulator, the value in number is a null string, so it only works on an actual iPhone device. I did not test it on an iPod Touch. I just ran this code as-is on OS 2.2.1.

Since I've never entered the phone number explicitly anywhere, I don't have any obvious explanation why yours would act any different, sorry.
